Log Cabin stays: 4 night min arr Mon, 3 night min arr Fri
Our guests book a return trip before they leave
Whether you are looking for weekend camping in Somerset, a family camping holiday in the South West, or to experience the joys of a self catering luxury log cabin, Alpine Grove is ideal for you and your family. Nestled into South Somerset, we offer excellent campsite facilities near the Devon and Dorset borders. Our unique rural camping and caravanning site and log cabin retreat is both family and pet friendly!
Regularly used for weekend and midweek breaks as well as weekly or fortnightly holidays, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and escape the trappings of modern life. Our quiet, level oak woodland site is set in 8.5 acres of parkland with pitches naturally screened by rhododendrons amongst the mature oaks, beeches and birches surrounded by abundant wildlife, flora and fauna.
We have a perfect family friendly atmosphere here at Alpine Grove. Children are occupied with our safe play area including table tennis table or our outdoor heated swimming pool and the woods are great for den building. For family time, there is an abundance of safe cycle and walking tracks within the park to explore and play safely. Further afield, we recommend exploring the Chard to Ilminster cycle path on the old railway line, part of the WWII Taunton Stop Line.
This is the third stay in hot tub log cabins, twice in woodpecker and first time in tawny owl, both were meticulously cleaned with checklist telling you what was done,... read more it has a dishwasher and spacious fridge freezer which we found very useful, Serena and Keith are genuinely lovely host and are happy to help with anything you ask for. We like a fire pit, which we rang Reception and it was delivered by dusk on days asked complete with logs, they take it away to clean the next day.
We have already booked for next year back in the woodpecker which is more disabled friendly with no steps.
If I really HAD to say a downside I’d only have to bemoan the hard mattresses in both rooms, we slept on top of duvet to soften and bought blankets.
The hot tub is good but by day 5 it needed some maintenance but it wasn’t worth saying about it as we were going out on day 7, but I’m certain if I had spoken to owners they would’ve done something about it. They are very good.
We love the forest and in our minds eye we can take home the memory of looking up at the frees in the sunshine while floating around in the hot tub. Can’t wait till next time.
With the main oak beamed base now in place, work continued through July and August fitting floor joists and preparing the beams to house the…

My only niggle would be the... read more very noisy neighbours especially on our last night who decided to have a disco outside ! Didn't want to complain as I do understand everyone has been locked away for a long time but between that and the road, which was surprisingly noisy I would drop a "star" but would definitely like to return perhaps to a quite area of the site, although with a massive tent like ours may be difficult! On the whole though lovely site, pool and visiting food vans! Thank you!

On several occasions during our stay I said this is one of the best sites we have stayed. Obviously helps the weather was beautiful but the site was fantastic! Beautiful... read more woodland surroundings, fire pits to hire which I love during a camping trip and perfect for kids to wander around with parents feeling they are safe. The pool set up where one family used at a time due to covid was perfect and I genuinely think this is one pandemic arrangement that works so well it could remain. The owners were so relaxed and friendly and the pancake pod and pizza night really topped off a fantastic first camping trip of the year! Thanks again Alpine Grove, we will most definitely be back 🏕
